That's right, Star Wars fans. The role of Admiral Ackbar in this hand is played by yours truly, while the roles of Death Star and Rebel Fleet are played by Howard Lederer and Alexander Kostritsyn, respectively. Lederer called bets from Kostritsyn on every street until sixth street, when he raised with a board of (X-X) / {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. Kostritsyn called with (X-X) / {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{k-Spades}

. Both players checked the river, with Lederer revealing a craftily played {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

. Kostritsyn mucked.
